About Curtis Schmitz

I am a seasoned business professional with 14 years experience in product management roles having an exceptional record of growing profitability within the assigned categories/business segments. I am privileged to have worked with and learned from so many great individuals throughout my professional career, which has allowed me to gain extensive experience with executing strategic product & services roadmaps, developing long term growth initiatives, P&L ownership, and successfully fulfilling customer needs. I enjoy working in a fast-paced environment that requires multi-tasking, cross-functional collaboration, and attention to detail. I\'m always learning from others and continuing my development. I especially enjoy sharing my knowledge and experiences, so others can succeed faster than I have. What others would say about me- I go towards the problems, and collaboratively develop creative solutions- I\'m a strategic thinker who looks 5 steps ahead and anticipates challenges- I’m calm under pressure- I’m a fair leader that strives for a win-win result- I keep the customer experience top of mind when making all decisions- I\'m results driven, and ensure that credit goes to the team rather than self.
